I don't get any return:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dpkg -l | grep shadowsocks
pi@raspberrypi:
ss-server doesn't work either. What now?

|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
...then I get 100+ lines of output, without anything obvious SS related.
What next?
Anyway, I found a line "_shadowsocks-2.8.2_" - seems my version is about 1 year old.
Can it be updated or I need a new install?

shadowsocks-2.8.2 is not shadowsocks-libev, the previous one is the python version and does not relate to this project (ss-libev).
If dpkg cannot return any results, that means you didn't install shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev via deb package management system. You might have installed softwares using something like copy-paste or directly from source code.
If you (correctly) installed shadowsocks-libev via Debian's package management system, you are supposed to get results like this:
dpkg -l | grep shadowsocks
ii shadowsocks 2.9.0-2 all Fast tunnel proxy that helps you bypass firewalls
ii shadowsocks-libev 3.1.1+ds-4 amd64 lightweight and secure socks5 proxy
ii simple-obfs 0.0.5-2 amd64 simple obfusacting plugin for shadowsocks-libev
If you sticks with manually-installed shadowsocks-related software, we cannot really effectively help you. You must sort out the status of your system on your own.

ss-server -v |more
shadowsocks-libev 3.1.1
maintained by Max Lv <[email protected]> and Linus Yang <[email protected]>
man page usually has version info at the bottom.

Doh, you are right on that. I certainly did something with Python. Was a year ago, really forgot the details. No further questions then and sorry for the confusion.
